CAD Output Radiation TableSet CAD Output Radiation Table

(This functionality is available with the Input / Output module)

Sets the format and appearance of a radiation table which may be passed out to a CAD file via the CAD Output/Output command.

If the "Set for all codes" check box is selected in the radiation table dialog box, then all radiation objects will be selected for inclusion in the table. Otherwise, the radiation objects which are to be contained in the table are governed by the settings in the CAD Output/Settings/Codes command.

The purpose of generating this type of table in a CAD file is to obtain a list of radiation objects.

The exact nature of the dialog box depends on which CAD system has been selected for output in the CAD Output Settings menu (i.e. LISCAD CAD, AutoCAD, or MicroStation).

Radiation Table Dialog Box

Item Used to
Title Key in the name to be given to the table.
Text Select the output parameters for text.
Line Weight Set the line weight of the table lines that is output to a CAD system. For LISCAD CAD, the weight entered is the thickness of the line when plotted at the scale of the plan to be created. The value entered for weight depends on the Utilities/Configure/Units linear settings. For metres enter the weight in mm, otherwise enter the weight in inches.

For MicroStation, enter a value from 0 to 7. Please refer to the MicroStation documentation.

For AutoCAD, the line weight maybe selected ByLayer, ByBlock, the current AutoCAD drawing default line weight, or any of the predefined AutoCAD line weights available in the dropdown list. Please refer to the AutoCAD's documentation.
Table Colour List the 256 colours that are available for selection to be used for the table lines that are output to a CAD system.
Reference on Line Select that the system generated reference number for each radiation in the table be placed on the radiation line in the CAD file graphics. Otherwise the reference number will be placed at the end point of the radiation line.
Set for all codes Select that all points will be included in the table regardless of the settings in the CAD Output/Settings/Codes command.
Layer Set the CAD layer for LISCAD CAD or AutoCAD.
  • The layer may be up to 32 alpha numeric characters.
Level Set the CAD level for MicroStation.
  • The level may be 0 to 63.
Columns
Position Select which of the following attributes are to be output.
  • Ref. No. - System generated reference numbers.
  • From Point - The point from which a radiation emanates.
  • To Point - The point at which a radiation ends.
  • From Desc. - Description of the From Point.
  • To Desc. - Description of the To Point.
  • Bearing - Radiation bearing.
  • Distance - Radiation distance.
  • Line Desc. - Line description.
Using the arrow up/down keys to increase or decrease the column number can set the column position of each attribute type.
The column numbers increase from left to right. Set the Position to 0 (zero) to remove the attribute type in the report.
Alphanumeric
Left Select left justification for the alphanumeric fields.
Centred Select centre justification for the alphanumeric fields.
Right Select right justification for the alphanumeric fields.
Numeric
Aligned Set the numeric fields to be aligned vertically by the decimal point.
  • Integer values will be right justified.
Centred Set the numeric fields to be centred in the column.
OK Close the dialog box and save any changes to the settings.
Cancel Close the dialog box without saving the changes to the settings.
